Dangerous adventures and near disasters came easy for Bette: being dragged by a crazy freighter captain out on deck in the midst of a hurricane, smuggling outlawed cosmetics from Hong Kong into Korea, and traveling from Bangkok to Angkor Wat in Cambodia at the start of the Cambodian War, where she faced border interrogation at gunpoint. Traveling by bus from Tacoma to Panama, Bette learned not to be so outgoing after a deranged bus station manager in San Jose, Costa Rica tried to rape her. The next close call came when the pilot who flew her to the San Blas Islands in Panama returned in an incoming storm and attempted to kidnap her and fly her to Colombia. Heading to the Caribbean, she found safer haven in Trinidad, with the exception of extremely bad timing, arriving when rampaging Rastafarians were killing tourists in Montego Bay. In Tahiti, Bette met John, a Canadian, who invited her to sail the South Pacific as his crew member. She ends up being gone two years; enduring storms, being lost at sea, running out of water and shortages of food. In the Cook Islands she meets Tom Neale, the "hermit of Suwarrow." While working as a Samoa News reporter in Pago Pago, her articles on corruption and nefarious activities resulted in her being attacked by gangs and threats of sinking their yacht. After completing her 2nd voyage to Suwarrow with John to shoot a film on Tom Neal, Bette decided it was time to head home and get her life back together...until the next adventure calls.

Carmen Earlington was born in Portland, Jamaica. She grew up with her grandparents, and was greatly influenced by their wisdom and wise counsel, delivered in no small part through many of the proverbs presented in this book. She believes that the wisdom gained from her grandparents has prepared her for living in a better and more practical way than any school or university she has ever attended. In her early years, she was also influenced by her godmother, a school teacher, who taught traditional folk dancing, folk music, and speech. These experiences did much to reveal to her the richness of the Jamaican culture, and to instill in her a love for the culture's traditions. It is this love for the traditions that has inspired her to write this book in an attempt to preserve the culture, while allowing readers to enjoy the humor, wit, and wisdom of a people who have, over the years, used the experiences of their everyday lives to create their unique culture, and tell it in a language all their own. Carmen earned her teaching credentials from Moneague Teachers' College and the University of the West Indies. She migrated to the United States in 1991. She earned a Masters Degree in Education from the State University of New York at New Paltz. She also obtained a Post Graduate Certificate in Educational Leadership from Towson University. Currently she resides with her husband in Upstate New York, where she continues her career as an educator in the Public School system. She is the mother of two grown children.
